      the argument for one broken thing doesn't excuse another. They should both get the axe. But having one doesn't make the other one OK. ALL melee range buffs should be removed. I personally despise knockout, so I completely get you, but still.

      secondly, if you werent making comparisons, why did you bring up knockout in the first place. you know darn well what you mean when y'all do this "but but this other (insert broken thing)." which is completely irrelevant to the discussion. bottom line: lemon has been a super annoying weapon in this game for a long freaking time.

    I would’ve figured that they would leave the poison damage untouched and just halve the poison damage ticks. Would make it +7.5 damage from poison, which would make it 93.5 damage on a body if it were to have Lightweights’ 86 body damage.

    in your opinion are perks such as impulse amplifier and no distractions worth using on a precision bow? or are they an instant dismantle...

    • @mazokumo
      @mazokumo  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Impulse amplifier is in my opinion S tier and better than even Archers Tempo for Precision Frame Bows. Among all the bows that we have available I main a Wolftone with perfect perks and Impulse amplifier, on which I put 13k kills on while using it as a primary on it's own. Impulse is my favourite perk and will definitely be S+ tier next season.
      No distractions is useless.

    I think the quick-swapping nerf *needed* to happen. Maybe see if they could make it a special tuning for certain weapon classes, that way sniper/shotgun players aren't as punished?
    I just don't think Quickswapping needed to continue being a viable strategy, so I'm glad they hit it as hard as they did. That said, it needs work and tuning based on bow player feedback.

    Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defences, take this beast out, and break their grip of Freehold.

(Edit) Also I wouldn’t really even bother talking about the auto aim guns they are all pretty shit and I’m pretty sure it’s only that garbage copium sidearm.

    The point of quick swap was to have around a 0.6ttk at good range in exchange for not running a one shot special, now intead the ttk of the combo is around 1.5sec since u have to wait for the poison to fully tick to secure the kill

      This is not true, you can double body at 1.2 seconds now with le monarque, oathkeepers and one armour loader. You don't have to wait for the poison, the poison ticks from the first shot stack over the ones from the second without having to wait for them. you can easily test this in a private match before making an assumption.
